I think that too.

But is it that, or were we tougher? This isn’t bravado. Nobody I grew up with ever had a level of anxiety that prevented them from functioning. Depression? Sure. Alcoholism? Oh yeah. But anxiety? No. Why so much more now?

Diet. Lack of exercise. Social media. Not particularly in that order.

I think people had varying levels of anxiety, it’s just that no one used that term

The world is tougher to navigate now than it was when you were playing stick ball.
